Swine are being chosen with increasing frequency as subjects for cardiovascular research. Similarities to humans in their cardiovascular physiology, size, anatomy, and the perfusion distribution of blood flows make them better subjects than most species. In addition, swine can be less expensive than dogs and primates and they generally are not associated with the same high concern as other species about humane issues.
